Daw a possible target?

Just so people don't forget.

Spencer was only given a one-year deal.

Which basically says to me that as soon as we land someone who offers more than being able to eat five parma's in one sitting, he'll be gone.

Daw is not the answer, for the hundredth time. But I'd have him over Spencer on any given day for a third or fourth rounder.

Gawn has shown just how difficult he can be to match-up on as a forward and I firmly believe that if we wish for him to continue playing consistent football for entire seasons at our club, he is going to need a helluva lot more support than the odd Pedo/Watts cameo in the ruck. He has had three knee oppos and is the second tallest ruckman in the league and not far from the heaviest either I would imagine. The club would be well aware of this and I think as soon as we get someone in who can also provide a genuine forward target and can kick goals, we'll see a double-team situation in which Gawn will have more periods forward.

Would love a quality forward/ruckman. But Daw is better than what we currently have and will provide further support whilst the Kings continue developing their bodies and footy at VFL.

Ben Brown, Mason Cox, Mike Pike... It'll click for Daw at some stage.

Tell me this isn't true.

    Can you show me Dawes then since he arrived at the club?

    How many games has he influenced besides the one against Adelaide?

    We get it BA. You rate Daw very highly.

    I haven't mentioned or made an argument for Dawes so I don't get your point, sorry.

    My argument was that a player who has a highlights reel obviously looks good in it. Point being it's a pretty weak tool to convince someone a player has any worth.

    (FWIW Dawes highlight package makes him look like a star, Neeld probably watched this and drafted him based on it. How'd that work out?)

    Fn Starks.

     

    The only Stark I trust is Tony.

    Just sign the Accords, Steve...

     

    (That's a lot of pop culture right there...)

    Where is the Demonland GoT thread so I can outline everything wrong with this post?

    Who exactly?

    He has not been charged with any crimes.

    He is struggling to get a Guernsey because he is back up to Goldstein .

    He goes well at VFL level.

    Well worth consideration I would think.

    I think I started a thread on how I wouldn't mind stealing from Daws as a rookie fro North late last year.

     

    to post that we should consider trading Salem, ANB, Hunt or Kent for him is just ludicrous, to be nice

    As someone who's privy to a lot of inside information (due family involvement at the club), I hope we stay well away from Daw. There's a lot more to his story than just past off-field issues and lots of potential.

    Whilst he has potential to actually be a good player, he has much more potential to cause disharmony amongst the playing group. Unfortunately it's his off field actions (re: training, attitude & respect for other players) that I would suggest are most of concern than any past alleged actions.

    Bad culture at the Saint too- back then at least.

    Clearly we won't be chasing Daw, if it was to happen it needed to be last year so he could play this year and possibly part of next depending on how quickly The Weed and Hulett develop.

    When he's on he's a terrific presence. My only concern is that he has the aerobic capacity of Russ Hinze.

    was quite young at the time

    listened to an interview of him the other day. he spoke very well, articulate and intelligent

    agree, seems to be way past it now

    don't think saty could cope with the guns though

    Daw gets pushed around too easily, if my sister fed him up on her scones ( more like chunks of granite ) then he would put weight on in no time. At this stage it is a no for me.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
